His Beloved Treasure

”Yeah, isn’t it the suit you designed for Mr. Mu before? It would be so meaningful to give it away, and it also saves some money.”

Qin Mu didn’t pay much attention to the earlier words, but when she heard the part about saving money, her sharp eyes lit up.

Later, she left the office, planning to go to the room where she slept to check on that suit. She remembered that it was already a few years old, a suit with some history. It probably wouldn’t fit him well anymore, just giving it to him would definitely make him happy.

Just as she walked out the door, she ran into Jian Yan coming back from outside. Jian Yan stood at the entrance, lit a cigarette, and then asked her, ”How are you spending Christmas?”

Qin Mu opened her mouth but before she could reply, he took a heavy drag on his cigarette and suddenly murmured, ”No need to say, I’m going back tomorrow and will return after the holiday.”

Qin Mu felt somewhat uncomfortable inside. She really had feelings for Jian Yan like those for a father or brother, seeing him unhappy and hesitant to speak made her feel very sad.

”Jian Yan, you could actually stay.”

”Stay and spend it with you and your husband? Didn’t the elders take the kids out? How could I be the third wheel?”

Qin Mu opened her mouth again, actually wanting to tell him that she and Mu Yichen were an old married couple and it wasn’t that big of a deal, but after thinking about it, she ultimately kept quiet.

Actually, the most uncomfortable person wasn’t her, it was Jian Yan. Jian Yan regretted asking her and then turned around to return to his office.

After Jian Yan left, Qiu Xiang came over again to discuss the design drawings with her, so the matter of getting the clothes was then brushed aside.

——

Christmas arrived quickly. All the partners in the studio went on holiday and returned home for the holiday; even Jian Yan went back to Paris, and the reason...

Perhaps loneliness could drive a person crazy, even someone with strong self-restraint. Watching the person he liked being affectionate with another man every day, he would inevitably lose control at some point. Jian Yan chose to leave before that moment came, going with AD.

The Mu Family was also quite empty that day. The elders took the kids to experience the holiday atmosphere abroad. Mu Yichen and Qin Mu attended the hotel’s Christmas Eve party in full dress.

After the speech, the floor was handed over to Qiao Yi and the other company executives. Mu Yichen secretly left with Qin Mu, wearing their formal attire, and returned to the first apartment they had lived in together.

No matter how many years passed, this place seemed to have become their favorite spot.

After Mu Yichen parked the car, he took her into the elevator. Qin Mu asked him, ”Why are we coming back here?”

Mu Yichen didn’t answer her, just gave her a deep look.

Qin Mu seemed to partially understand, so she didn’t ask further. As for the gift...

Qin Mu uncreatively went to the store and got a coat as a gift for him, but Mu Yichen gave her a pigeon egg.

Before cooking, Mu Yichen sat her down in the dining room, took out the exquisite box from his pocket, and placed it in front of her, ”Open it yourself, I’m going to prepare dinner.”

Qin Mu didn’t say anything because she was very much looking forward to the gift inside the box.

But when she saw that pigeon egg, she immediately felt that it shone so brightly and warmly that it might not even fit in the apartment.

She had only given him a coat worth a few thousand yuan, and he gave her such a big gift, this...

Since they brought a roast duck back from the hotel, Mu Yichen made some duck bone soup, then plated the roast duck, made a vegetable and fruit platter, and poured two fine glasses of red wine.

After preparing everything, he sat down and saw Qin Mu still staring blankly at the pigeon egg, and couldn’t help but ask, ”Stunned?”

”No! I was thinking, would you mind if I sell it?”

Qin Mu said as she looked up at Mu Yichen with cautious eyes.

Mu Yichen frowned slightly, gave her a reproachful look, and then picked up his wine glass, ”Cheers!”

Qin Mu quickly picked up her wine glass, but didn’t let the pigeon egg leave her line of sight.

”If you want to sell it, it’s best to wait a few years, it should appreciate quite a bit.”

Mu Yichen said.

Qin Mu nodded repeatedly, ”Mm-hmm! Mr. Mu, you’re so generous; I feel like I’m about to be overwhelmed by your pigeon egg, but I’m willing.”

Qin Mu’s eyes seemed to say, could you give me a few more surprises like this? Let me be overwhelmed by them!

Mu Yichen, however, saw through what was on her mind with just one glance, but chose not to expose her.

After dinner, Mu Yichen did not carry her upstairs to the bedroom but stood for a while with her by the window in the living room, and only after about half an hour, feeling comfortable physically and mentally, did he slowly embrace her from behind: ”As for your gift, I am very dissatisfied, so, do you know how you should compensate me?”
